My research integrates Experimental and Clinical Psychology, focusing on how cognitive processes and individual differences determine performance and well-being in complex environments.

  1. Cognition-Emotion interactions, personality and psychopathology. Investigating how affective states (anxiety, sadness), personality traits, and clinical disorders modulate attentional control and information processing. This line explores the cognitive mechanisms underlying both mental health and performance efficiency.

  2. Psychological Strengths and Resilience. Examining the role of resilience, emotional intelligence, and protective factors as modulators of cognitive functioning and mental health from a lifespan and cross-cultural perspective. Collaborations: Olga Kolyuch (Margulan University) and Azahara Miranda (Loyola University).

  3. Applied psychology in driving. Analyzing the impact of mood, clinical disorders, and cognitive load on safety and behavioral decision-making in car and motorcycle driving. Collaboration: Cándida Castro (University of Granada).

  4. Performance and well-being in high-demand environments. Exploring the psychological profiles, risk-taking, and well-being of individuals in high-pressure settings, such as professional sports and tactical populations. Collaboration: Juan González Hernández (University of Granada). Sport, Health, and Performance Psychology Lab.
